    • This was an amazing start to 2008. HTTT was a good album but definitely lacked something I found in 'In Rainbows.' My heart will always have a place for anything these guys put out. High honors, A+, you name it they deserve it.

    • Wow. The members of Radiohead are possibly the best musicians out there right now. They each play like 4 instruments and they all sing. I haven't heard anything like them ever.

    • artists being close and being creative..you only know what this does to you if you've done it. It makes you spin and is really knackering all at the same time..you are desperate to say things and eventually the people in your world let you..in rainbows is for me that time..where I left radiohead is cetainly not where I found them..they were in that little bit of London I ran from that corner of Brighton I watched and here again just me and my fingers a plastic keyboard a guitar and idea..(sigh) i love it for...

    • This is actually better than the released version. Seriously, the sound quality for starters is betgter and the timing on the album is way too qucik. This is better because it's chilled out mor eand has loads more depth and feeling to it. Give me this over the download and the CD anyday. Also I want to know where you stole the begininning of House of cards from. It's been bugging me from the moment I heard it that I know the beginning from another track. Please tell me please it's doing my nut in.

      Keep up the good work fellas x

    • By far the most beautifully sounding band in the world. It blows me away. I've seen them three times in the United States and I'm planning on being blown away once again when I travel to Amsterdam in July to see them on the 1st. They just keep raising the bar from my perspective and no one else is ever going to come close. Thanks again RADIOHEAD.

    • Does anyone else keep setting their DVR/Tivo to record "Radiohead: In Rainbows" (Scotch Mist) and it's NOT actually on at the time the Network says it is? It's getting quite annoying for me. As a matter of fact, nothing on the TV schedule actually plays on this channel at the right time. Does anyone else have this problem?

    • I like the bass player how he completes the song. Without him, it's really all these separate parts, but when he comes in he really adds a flowing texture that is complete and continuous.

    • Hey gordiegords, one way to download to your pc would be to intall the Realplayer Beta, which has a download feature. I've been able to convert Realplayer files to burn onto DVD. Does anyone else know of a better way?

    • It's too bad Current didn't actually re-air the performance as it claimed on 1/4 as I set the DVR and the title correctly identified the slot to be Radiohead, but the actual show was not Scotch_Mist

      I also checked Comcast and there is no scheduled re-broadcast of the performance this evening either.

      WTF??? I'm a huge advocate of your programming strategy, but this is frustrating.

      I realize that the results from Iowa are extremely important to the future of our country, but for god sakes, this is Radiohead we're talking about.

      It would be great if someone would let us (me) know when the next airing will take place.

      Thanks!

    • Does anyone know if this is going to air FOR REAL tonight? Time Warner's guide shows nothing of this airing and I recorded the time slot shown by this website but it was just the regular programming. Plus, what was up with Current's website this morning? Not very professional...

    • Awesome. Poetry readings were definitely what took it up a notch for me. All the performances were great as well (especially faust arp and jigsaw falling into place, although I wasn't that fond of the performance of Nude). I know Current has some other music stuff planned, but nothing quite like this.

    • Ah-mazing! Radiohead has been my favorite group for a number of years and I'm always nervous/cautious that my tastes are going to change or they are going to jump the shark but, alas - they always find a way to present the perfect music for the times and my life. Probably the most consistent example of quality music to come out in my lifetime.

    • I hope there is more to come from other bands as well. I am glad that RH is the first though. It seems so fitting that a non-bubblegum populist media outlet and a non-bubblegum populist band have gotten together to give the people what they want.

    • If you missed the original NYE broadcast on Current TV, you can catch it again at the following times in the US.

      The TV broadcast has better image and sound, definitely worth a few megs on your DVR hard drive!

      Felt like I was sitting in a control room calling the cameras out. Fun stuff. Perhaps one day it will be just as interactive as such. We can all direct our own streaming concert.

      Lastly, does anyone know if Mr. Yorke gives dance lessons?

    • That was so great. I watched Dick Clarks new years rockin' eve last night then switched to this when in started and the contrast between the "artists" on that program and the integrity and innovation Radiohead shows was almost shocking, even to a lifelong fan.

      can tell their tour will be stunning from the webcasts alone, if you've never seen radiohead live in the past.

      diverider... I'm sure there is a way to rip the flash video from the site. What it is, I do not know and cannot condone doing it. I did notice that individual songs are available on an other very large video site and I believe there are a number of sites/apps to rip from there.

      Sucha great present for this new year!

      I'm actious to buy In Rainbows: I had to constrain myself and wait for it to be in stores. Tomorrow's the day! (on monday, in Portugal, there were no signs of the record to be in stores, and today is holyday)

      Tomorrow will be holyday as well ;-)

    • Real and raw and everything i'd hoped for. Especially liked Thom and Jonny in the field playing Faust Arp with wind in mic, what a great spot. Piss foam, ski masks, and nervous squares with flailing arms, huzzah! From their first album Radiohead has never ceased to impress me and Scotch Mist is no exception. Good show, guys, thank you so much for the intimacy and honesty that is this video; i love you even more for it. Cheers!

    • That was great, I watched it at midnight here in the UK and fell asleep around 'All I Need' I think. I'm glad I watched it back today though as my favourite part was the slow motion version of 'Nude' at the end.

      I'm excted by everything Radiohead are doing at the moment; they really seem to be settled into their labelless stuation, and it's obvious that they're doing these free webcasts etc. because they want to be doing them - much better than some forced promo tour. If I'm honest though I think the tickets for the London shows next summer are a little too highly priced for my wallet, which is sad because they've been one of my favourite bands for a long time and I've never had chance to see them live.

      why this time then were tears in my eyes and my fingers shaking on the mouse as Videotape aired?
      reborn yet again perhaps?
      i've been eaten by the worms and weird fishes i guess !

      PS--Phil absolutely 'owns' this album...percussion has never sounded this good!

    • I hate to sound negative but I am desperately terrified of the day that I don't have Radiohead in my life. Done The Beatles, Led Zep, Floyd and Steely Dan etc. Nothing......nothing comes close to these guys. Surely the best band that will ever be.... It is a great honour and a privilege to have been around to share this. Being selfish - I just want some other band to break through with the same/different awesome talent so that I will have a safety net for that dreadful day......

    • I admit, I didn't download the album, so this was my first time hearing the new material. The performances here were all studio grade and It proves they can lay it down live, which is great. Thank you to the band and Current for the experience.

      I'm a fan of every Radiohead album to date, and In Rainbows is really definitive of a band who came from the garage fundamental, broke down barriers of melody and electronics, yet made it all relevant in the end. A grassroots Radiohead experience that feels equally current and ahead of its time.

    • Radiohead are truly artists in every sense of the word. They don't seem to let what the world thinks of them influence what they do. I appreciate that. There's a certain amount of insanity to everything they do. I appreciate that. To counteract the insanity, there's a certain amount of effortless fun and groundedness (not a word, but you know what I mean) to everything they do. I thank them for all they do. Oh yes, and thank you to Current for having the foresight and ability to put this on air.

Major props to all involved; Deanna, David, Davis, Manoj, Mark, Micah, Tim, Cory, Smith, Andrew, Massi, Frank, Jessica, and Karol. It has been a great year, here's to another. -tom

    • This is interesting because Radiohead is, in my opinion, the best band to ever grace sound waves, and having the pleasure of a New Year's Eve mini concert is a great way to ring in the new year.
